Hi Carol,

 CS> Oh, I got some in beef simce thats the one stock I often dont make
 CS> much of so tend to run out.  In fact, I am out of chicken stock just
 CS> now too!

Try the new Swanson's stocks yet?  I've used a chicken and a beef, both
of them incorporated into dishes so that we couldn't judge them "solo"
on taste.  But they did seem to round out the flavorings of what they
were in (which I've forgotten).  They'll sit on a shelf in the pantry
until opened too.


 CS> break, the rice was ready.  Rather nice brand of sushi rice there!

 CS> The packets didnt 'need' anything added but i added sushi vinegar to

 CS> frozen stuff but that will be too late.  So, now we have 3 types of
 CS> munchie rice balls.  One is lemo and black sesame seed with sushi
 CS> vinegar and a pinch of sugar, one is green (nori and something else
 CS> slightly fruity tasting) and one is dried plum with one of the darker
 CS> seaweeds gently crumbled into it.

Sounds interesting.  I presume more of "not made a big shopping trip
yet" cooking? (G)


 CS> This is a good sticky 'bring and make at a picnic' thing.

Also good if we do go with a Hawaiian theme for the next picnic.  Have
you ever had pan sushi before? Basically, all the sushi stuff layered in
a pan (G) but it does save time in that you're not making individual
little portions.  We had it in HI at some of the church "eatings".

Catch you later,
